【解析】这篇短文讲述了Jack总是忙于工作而没有时间陪伴家人，但Belser先生给他寄来的一个包裹让他意识到家人才是生活中最重要的部分，我们应该花费一些时间陪伴他们。

【1】句意：事实上，Jack从这个国家搬走了，忙于他的工作。for 为了，因为；at 在具体时刻或地点；with和…一起；by通过…方式，到…时候。这里考查的是固定搭配be busy with…忙于某事。故应选C。

【2】句意：在那里，Jack几乎没有时间想过去，没有时间陪伴他的妻子、儿子。little 很少的，几乎没有，修饰不可数名词；few少的，几乎没有，修饰可数名词；a little一点儿；a few一点儿。空后的time是不可数名词，故排除B和D。根据空后often had no time to ___3___ with his wife and son可知，Jack总是很忙，所以他几乎没有时间去想过去的事情，故应选A。

【3】句意：在那里，Jack几乎没有时间想过去，没有时间陪伴他的妻子、儿子。spend 花费；度过，主语为人；take花费，常用于句型It takes sb. sometime to do sth.；cost花费，主语为物；pay付钱，常用于短语pay…for。这句话的主语是Jack，故应选A。

【4】句意：一天他的妈妈在电话中告诉他他们的邻居Belser先生去世了，葬礼将在星期三举行。asked 问，请求；said说；强调内容；spoke说，指动作或时候某种语言；told告诉。tell后可以跟双宾语，tell sb. sth.告诉某人某事，故应选D。

【5】句意：一天他的妈妈在电话中告诉他他们的邻居Belser先生去世了，葬礼将在星期三举行。in 在年代、月份、季节前；about大约；关于；on 在…上面；在具体的某一天、星期前；from从…。空后Wednesday是星期三，故应用介词on，选C。

【6】句意：过了好久Jack才回答，因为他已经很长时间没有想起Belser先生了。until 直到…时候；before在…之前；after在…之后；when当…时候。这句话使用的句型是It takes a long time before…过了一段时间才…。根据文意可知，Jack听了妈妈的话，过了一会儿才做出回应，故应选B。

【7】句意：“他没有忘记你，每次我看到他的时候，他都问你怎么样了。” remember 记得；see看见；call打电话；forget忘记。根据下文Every time I saw him, he’d ask ___8___you were going可知，Belser先生每次见到Jack的妈妈都会问起Jack，所以他没有忘记Jack。故选D。

【8】句意：“他没有忘记你，每次我看到他的时候，他都问你怎么样了。” how 怎样，如何；where在哪里；why为什么；when什么时候。How…going是询问某人最近情况的一个固定句型，故应选A。

【9】句意：“他会谈起你和他一起度过的那些日子。” talk with 和某人谈话；talk over讨论；商议；talk about谈论某事；talk to和某人谈话。根据空格后the days you spent with him可知，这里指谈论某事，故应选C。

【10】句意：一天Jack收到了一个包裹。got 得到，收到；lent 借给；borrowed借；bought买。根据下文The box was from Mr Belser.可知，包裹是Belser先生寄过来的，所以这里应该是Jack收到了这个包裹，故选A。

【11】句意：里面有一个金色的盒子。box 盒子；watch手表；note笔记；便条；book书。根据下句话The box was from Mr Belser.可知，Jack打开包裹先看到的是金色的盒子，手表在盒子里面，这里还没有看到。故应选A。

【12】句意：在那里面他发现了一个金表。looked for 寻找；found 找到，发现；looked at看…；watched观察，观看。根据句意可知，这里指Jack在盒子里看到了金表，look at只表示动作，不表示结果，故不对，应选B。

【13】句意：在里面他发现这些字：“Jack，谢谢你陪伴我的时间。—Harold Belser。” gift 礼物；money钱；package包裹；time时间。根据上文Every time I saw him, he’d ask ___8___you were going. He’d ___9___the days you spent with him,可知，Jack曾经和Belser先生一起度过一段时间，所以这里应指时间，选D。

【14】句意：Jack拿着表过了几分钟，然后他给他的办公室打电话，取消了他接下来的两周的会议。years 年，复数；days天；weeks周；minutes分钟。根据下面then called his office…可知，这里指Jack拿着表楞了几分钟，故应选D。

【15】句意：他们是我们生命中最重要的部分。the most important 最重要的；most important最重要的，在形容词最高级前应加定冠词the；the least important最不重要的；least important最不重要的，缺少定冠词the。根据上句话we should always remember to spend some time with the person we love.可知，我们应该总是要记住花一些时间去陪伴我们爱的人，所以他们在我们的生命中是最重要的。故应选A。
